Paradigm Biopharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX:PAR) (“Paradigm” or “the Company”), a
late-stage drug development company, is pleased to announce the filing of the updated
protocol for its Phase 3 clinical trial (PARA_OA_012) with the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA). The 30-calendar day review period will officially begin on October
29th, upon receipt of the submission by the FDA. During this period, if the Agency does
not request further information or raise additional questions, the review will conclude at
the end of these 30 days.
Paradigm anticipates this review to be completed within this timeframe, allowing prescreening and enrolment for the PARA_OA_012 trial to commence shortly afterward.
Preparations are already underway at trial sites across Australia and the United States,
with initial activities to be launched at up to 10 sites in Australia, targeting first patient
enrolment by Q1 CY2025.
Following FDA clearance to proceed with the Phase 3 PARA_OA_012 clinical trial,
Paradigm expects to provide additional updates regarding trial design, clinical trial funding
and ongoing commercial discussions. The Company is committed to keeping investors
informed throughout this critical stage of the clinical program.
Paul Rennie, Managing Director of Paradigm, stated: “The submission and acceptance
of our Phase 3 protocol by the US FDA is a critical milestone for Paradigm, bringing us
one step closer to delivering a meaningful treatment for knee osteoarthritis. We are
optimistic for a smooth 30-day review period with the agency and extend our gratitude to
the FDA for their valuable input throughout the Type D meeting process. Now Paradigm
has made the submission of its documents to the FDA, there are two possible outcomes
(i) the FDA review the protocol and have no further comments within the initial 30-day
review period, which means Paradigm can commence with the Phase 3 clinical trial or (ii)
the FDA has further questions within the initial 30-day review period and if so another 30
day review period will commence from the date of the Paradigm’s submitted response.
The submission of the protocol along with all the associated updated clinical trial
documents (see below, what has been submitted to the FDA) represents a significant
achievement and reflects the hard work, persistence, dedication, and expertise of the
entire Paradigm team, who have worked tirelessly to meet the stringent requirements of
this program. I want to commend and thank everyone involved for their commitment to
advancing our mission and for positioning us for success as we move into this pivotal
phase. At Paradigm, we all have a common goal to bring Zilosul to market, and today's
news is a major step forward to achieving that goal.”
What has been submitted to the FDA?
Making changes to a phase 3 clinical trial protocol involves a comprehensive and detailed
process to ensure that any modifications align with regulatory standards and maintain the
integrity of the study design. This can include adjustments to the study objectives,
methodology, or patient eligibility criteria, all of which must be carefully documented and
justified. For its phase 3 clinical trial (PARA_OA_012), Paradigm has submitted a protocol
package comprising 12 different documents, one of which is the Investigator's Brochure
(IB). This document provides clinical and preclinical information on the investigational
drug, offering crucial guidance to investigators about the drug's safety profile, potential
risks, and benefits. A revised Informed Consent Form (ICF) has also been provided based
on recent feedback from the Agency. Each of the 12 documents a critical role in ensuring
the trial adheres to FDA guidelines and safeguards participant safety, facilitating a smooth
and transparent review process.
